Join me in the Freedom Challenge to help those trapped in Human Trafficking!



Hello!
I haven't written in a while but I wanted to share my plans to join Operation Mobilization's Freedom Challenge this summer! The plight of human trafficking has been on my heart since I first wrote "Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things,"in 2011. I will be joining 200 women to climb the Grand Tetons in Jackson Hole, Wyoming to raise funds and awareness. Every year the gals conquer a new mountain. In just four years, The Freedom Challenge has raised nearly $4 million for programs working to end the oppression of women and children in slavery globally. The movement has attracted hundreds of women across the US as well as from other countries. The money raised to date represents the opportunity for over 50,000 women and children living under oppressive conditions in countries such as India, Moldova, Ghana and France who have already been impacted and put on the path to freedom.


Funds raised support programs and activities facilitated by Operation Mobilization (OM), the founding organization of The Freedom Challenge and an international missions organization working in over 118 countries worldwide. OM’s four-part strategy to impact modern day slavery includes: Prevention, Development, Rescue, and Restoration activities which have proven successful in several target regions. In some countries, self-help group models are being employed where successful graduation of programs spawn new self-replicating groups reaching more and more women in the area over time.

Below is the link to my support page. Thanks so much for joining me in this worthwhile endeavor. Our challenge is their freedom!
